seize the moment

I decided to have the inauguration of my fire spiral tonight exactly because I am being in the midst of a medical nightmare, in terrible pain and inhaling painkillers like breathing. We had a bbq and bonfire with my mom, my best friend from Germany with his daughter and truly wonderful friends from here. And it was the best thing I could have done, being distracted by lovely and interesting company on a perfect fall night. We never know how much time we have: seize the moment.

paradis de pommes

Nothing comes in as many variety, except for humans I think. If a snake would offer me an apple, I could not refuse.

shroom

... and all of a sudden it was summer in fall, the leaves were resisting change, the mercury was rising and the sunbrellas had to come back out.

walden

"I went to the woods..." Well, I just went to try and have the crisp air clear my extreme headache. It did not work, but was utmost beautiful anyway. There is something very special at Walden Pond and I fail to put it into words.

intrinsic happiness

Though quirky and definitely having strange moments at times, this child of mine has such an intrinsic happiness and an infectious joy of life, I am glad I get to share it.

birds like fish

A display of sparkling white feathers in the sunlight and amazing synchronicity, a huge flocks of sand pipers was flying left and right over the Atlantic ocean at Crane Beach, looking rather like a school of fish than a flock of birds.

weathered

We came across this old cemetery right on the coast in Rockport, stones all weathered and beaten, yet still standing against time, marking what is no more.

sky

Sometimes I experience a tantamount need to have a wide and far sky to look at for an incredible feeling of air and freedom and possibilities.

linger

The day yesterday was so incredibly perfect that it lingered on in our minds and attitudes today. I know it sounds like yet another juxtaposition, but everybody was infected by a giddy, happy calm yesterday, almost like knowing that it was the last lovely day before a long winter and this shared feeling created a common ground between strangers everywhere.
